I grew up as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist, with a strong connection to Israel. However, I believe that the current Israeli government is exploiting the guilt of the Holocaust to justify their mistreatment of Palestinians. The Israeli army spokesperson's response to the killing of Palestinians was reminiscent of Nazi ideology. It's important to note that Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism, and the government's refusal to negotiate with Hamas has had dire consequences. Military means cannot solve the issue, as there are millions of Palestinians who are treated poorly by Israel. It's time for our government to take a stand and impose sanctions on Israel for their unacceptable conduct.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist State of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the star of David. Judaism, as stated in the Torah, forbids Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. True followers of Judaism do not aspire to have our own state or take land from the Palestinians. This goes against the principles of my religion.

I was raised by my great grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who lost her entire extended family. She never supported the State of Israel because she believed it was wrong to inflict on others what was done to the Jewish people. She saw the state and the Zionists as becoming what they had once fought against. As a woman raised Jewish, it's unpopular for me to say this, but I no longer believe in the faith. However, the Jewish people are still my family.

I've lost a lot of friends. I've particularly in the Israel question, I've never talked about Israel. I'm not a hater of Israel. Netanyahu is really hurting The United States and the world. It's completely out of control. Over twenty years, twenty five years. And, so I've always had that view, but I've kept it to myself because it's not worth it. But we've been pushed so hard and used so much by him that it's just terrible for the country that I I grew up in. And so I've said something and, you know, you do that and people you really, like, had dinner with and really liked are all of a sudden denouncing you as a Nazi or whatever. I never wanted that and it makes me sad now.

I am an American Jew who recently lived in Israel for four months. When you visit the territories around the West Bank and Gaza, you see the wall, surveillance cameras pointed at Palestinians' homes, and autonomous weapons at checkpoints. It's hard to understand the reality of occupation unless you witness it firsthand. Growing up as a Palestinian child, you know that the country you live in hates you and is willing to kill you based on video footage. Israel's advanced technology allows them to target Hamas members without bombing the entire region. This level of intelligence suggests that Israel's actions are a massacre and genocide, driven by white supremacy, dictatorship, and control over a people who are innocent of the crimes committed against them.

Israel has a right to exist and is a vital democracy. Amid rising anti-Semitism, some Jewish individuals may feel they can handle the situation alone, but I believe it's essential to oppose anti-Semitism regardless. It is wrong, unjust, and evil. Similarly, if my Catholic friends faced bigotry and felt they could manage it themselves, I would still stand against that bigotry because it is also wrong and unjust.

As a Holocaust survivor, I condemn the genocide in Gaza and criticize the Israeli government for using Holocaust memory to justify their actions. The dehumanization of Palestinians, reminiscent of Nazi tactics, is unacceptable. The brutality in Gaza must be condemned, and standing against injustice is crucial. The global protests against these atrocities give hope for change. It is vital to separate Jewishness from Zionism and speak out against oppression. History will judge those who remain indifferent.

As a Holocaust survivor, I initially believed in the Zionist dream of a Jewish state. However, I soon realized that achieving this dream meant oppressing and expelling the local Palestinian population. The Nakba, or catastrophe, was the foundation of Israel, yet it is not allowed to be mentioned. During my visit to the occupied territories, I witnessed the brutality of the occupation, including the destruction of olive groves and denial of water rights. Palestinians are trapped in what is often referred to as the world's largest outdoor prison. Criticizing Israel does not make one an anti-Semite; it is about standing up for Palestinian rights and justice. The Western press often portrays Palestinians as terrorists while giving Israel less criticism. Israeli historians, professors, and soldiers have spoken out against Israeli policies. It is important for people, regardless of their background, to speak up against injustice and not be silenced by accusations of anti-Semitism.

I used to support Israel, but after witnessing the situation in Gaza, I can no longer stand with them. While I don't condone Hamas, I can't condemn the Palestinian people either. The more I learned, the worse it got. Israel has been continuously punishing the Palestinians, not caring about civilian lives. They bomb and slaughter them to break their spirit, not just the terrorists. Their goal is to make the Palestinians stop resisting Israeli occupation. The more I dig, the more I realize that Israel's position is indefensible.

I grew up in a Jewish family in America, and I have family who were killed by Nazis. When we said "never again," it meant never again for everyone, including the Palestinians. It's disgusting to hear Israel use dehumanizing language and kill civilians. My heart goes out to Palestine. I hope they can be free and live prosperous lives. We, as Jewish people, also stand with Palestine and wish for a free Palestine. It's not about religion, but about a nation being killed by Zionists. The Nakba never ended; it's an ongoing ethnic cleansing. Gaza is like a concentration camp, with most people living in misery and destruction. They deserve freedom and self-determination. To the people in Gaza, it's hard to imagine what you've been through, and I understand the anger. Thank you for standing for humanity.

Antisemitism is a threat to everyone's safety, and it's heartbreaking to think that any child, like 6-year-old Wadiya in Illinois, could suffer. It's important to remember that Palestinians are human beings who deserve the same rights and dignity as anyone else. Speaking out to save lives should not be controversial, regardless of faith or ethnicity. The cries of Palestinian and Israeli children are equally important. It's puzzling why some people perceive the cries of Palestinians differently. We must hold onto our shared humanity.

As an Israeli Jew, I believe accusations of anti-Semitism are used as a tactic to deflect criticism of Israel. The strong ties between Israel and American Jewish groups lead to labeling critics as anti-Semitic. There is a reluctance to accept criticism, with a mindset of "Israel, right or wrong." Criticism of Israeli government actions is often dismissed as anti-Semitic, invoking the Holocaust and Jewish suffering to justify actions against Palestinians.

I am Anath Murad from Israel, speaking on behalf of the Jewish people. In Israel, we have a unique way of doing things, often blaming Palestinians for our own actions. We have a history of controversial incidents, like the bombing of the King David Hotel and the flotilla to Gaza. It's better for us if people remain ignorant about these events. On a personal note, my sister is considered crazy because she refuses to be a soldier.

I am here today to support the oppressed people and stand against the occupation. Israel, in my view, is a colonial apartheid genocidal state that does not represent Judaism. I was exploited when I was younger, living in Israel and learning the language. As I delved deeper, I realized the horror of this state exploiting our trauma from the Holocaust to oppress another people. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. I became aware of this in 2014 when I witnessed Israel's massacre in Gaza. Since then, I have separated my Jewish identity from this occupying fascist brutality. Today, I march with the Palestinians and support justice for all oppressed peoples. Thank you for speaking with me.

As a black Jewish woman living in Israel, I support my country and its right to exist. Despite claims that black people are mistreated in Israel, I have never personally experienced hatred or discrimination. It's absurd to use my skin color as an excuse to criticize my stance. I stand with my family, friends, and the values of Israel.

My parents survived Auschwitz and a German concentration camp. All my family members were killed. I won't stay silent about Israel's crimes against Palestinians. It's wrong to use my family's suffering to justify the torture and demolition of Palestinian homes. I won't be intimidated by tears. If you had any empathy, you would cry for the Palestinians too.

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist. My parents fled Poland and settled in Britain. The current Israeli government manipulates guilt to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. They prioritize Jewish lives over Palestinian lives. Military force won't solve this issue. Even after the fighting ends, there will still be millions of Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli government's conduct and policies are unacceptable. Our government should impose a complete arms ban on Israel. We need genuine peace, not conquest, which is the Israelis' unattainable goal. They are not just criminals, but also fools.

Antisemitism is a threat to everyone's safety. We must acknowledge that Palestinian people are not disposable; they are human beings who deserve freedom and dignity. Speaking up to save lives should not be controversial. The cries of Palestinian and Israeli children are equally important. It is perplexing why the cries of Palestinians seem different to some. We must remember our shared humanity.

Disturbing news from Israel: Hamas is reportedly kidnapping children, putting them in cages, and killing women and the elderly. This is cowardly and unacceptable. It is never okay to harm innocent people, regardless of their background or beliefs. It is especially despicable to use children as human shields. Politicians who remain silent and those who support Black Lives Matter but stay quiet now are called out. Israel is a place where I have studied, toured, and enjoyed kosher food, and this cowardly behavior is deeply disappointing. My mother and I have no respect for those involved in these actions.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist state of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the Star of David. Judaism and the Torah forbid Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. We are also forbidden from killing or stealing. Taking land away from the Palestinians goes against my religion and is completely contradictory.

I used to ask people to silence those who spoke against Israel by labeling them as antisemitic. It's wrong, but that's what we did. It's shameful as a Jew to admit this.

As a child of Holocaust survivors, I strongly believe in the principle of "never again." The current situation in Gaza is deeply troubling. It's important to understand that the conflict didn't start with Hamas, but rather with the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 to establish the Jewish state. These people were relocated to Gaza, and now they are being targeted for elimination or forced relocation. This must stop. American Jews need to speak out and say that this is not happening in our name or with our tax money. We cannot allow this genocide to continue before our eyes.

I'm Jewish and Israeli, and my parents survived Auschwitz during the Holocaust. I'm here with the Palestinians because I don't support the British government's arming and financing of Israel, which I see as supporting genocide. The media, including the BBC, is also complicit in this. Many people in Britain oppose this government's actions, including myself. This conflict didn't start recently; it began in 1948 when numerous Palestinian villages were destroyed, thousands of innocent Palestinians were killed, and hundreds of thousands became refugees. This violence has persisted ever since.

I want to clarify that no one speaks for me. Stop using antisemitism. Let Gaza live, impeach Netanyahu. Jewish and Palestinian safety are connected. Don't harm people in my name. Help Gaza by donating to unrwa.org, Gaza Mutual Aid on Instagram, and campus bailfunds.com. Peace and love.

I am a Jewish person speaking out against the Israeli state's actions, alongside many others worldwide. We reject the portrayal of this as an Israel-Hamas war, seeing it as settler colonialism against Palestinians. Many young Jewish people are joining the movement for peace and justice, opposing arms sales and calling for an embargo. The media often sides with oppressors, but support for the oppressed is growing. To access alternative perspectives, consider supporting Double Down News on Patreon.
